[blindkid] white cane on school bus

[Penny Duffy]

Well there is many laws and perhaps someone can direct you to certain
parts.  off the top of my head.

American with Disabilities Act

Also since the school bus is part of the school district (ether as a
department or a subcontracted company) This is also an IDEA issue.  The use
of the child's cane shoudl be addressed in the IEP.

The state may also have a white cane law.

This is very shocking for me and I don't understand why this keeps
happening.  This is much worse than what happened to my daughter at
the museum because this affected the child's education.

The bus department/company are going to address this because its very
serious.
